Variable g pendulum
Article No.
P2132301
Investigate the oscillation behaviour of a pendulum (rod pendulum) by varying the magnitude of the components of the acceleration of gravity which are decisive for the oscillation period. The pendulum that is to be used is constructed in such a manner that its oscillation plane can be progressively rotated from a vertical orientation to a horizontal one. The angle F , by which the oscillation plane deviates from its normal vertical position, can be read from a scale.
Key Features
- Quick and easy set-up
- Determine the gravitational constant g immediately without knowledge of mass or moment of inertia
- Automatically measure the oscillation period using the light barrier
- Simulate the pendulum oscillation as it would behave on the moon
- Investigate the pendulum oscillation in the vertical plane, the horizontal plane, and for any angle in between
